Event Causality Extraction via Implicit Cause-Effect Interactions (2023.emnlp-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing studies have not exploited the interactions between the cause and effect event that could provide crucial clues for causality reasoning. |
| Approach: | They propose an Implicit Cause-Effect interaction framework which captures the implicit intra- and inter-event interactions by incorporating the privileged information for reasoning. |
| Outcome: | The proposed framework captures the implicit intra- and inter-event interactions by incorporating the privileged information (ground truth event types and arguments) for reasoning. |

Advancing Event Causality Identification via Heuristic Semantic Dependency Inquiry Network (2024.emnlp-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing methods for ECI rely on causal features and external knowledge, but these methods fail in two dimensions: causal features between events in texts often lack explicit clues and external information may introduce bias. |
| Approach: | They propose a simple and effective Semantic Dependency Inquiry Network for ECI that captures semantic dependencies within the context using a unified encoder and generates a fill-in token based on comprehensive context understanding. |
| Outcome: | Extensive experiments show that SemDI surpasses state-of-the-art methods on three widely used benchmarks. |
